ASCO 8210G38 Solenoid Valve

The ASCO 8210G38 Solenoid Valve is a high-performance, 2-way normally open pilot-operated valve designed for demanding industrial water control and automation applications. Constructed with a rugged stainless steel body and durable NBR seals (Buna-N), this 3/4" NPT solenoid valve provides exceptional corrosion resistance and high-flow efficiency with a 3 Cv flow coefficient. Operating on a 120Vac power supply, it features a NEMA 4X enclosure, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments where protection against corrosion and hosedown is essential. This versatile ASCO RedHat II series valve manages pressure differentials from 0-150 PSI for air and water and up to 100 PSI for light oil. Its fail-open design ensures continuous flow during power loss, providing critical reliability for car wash systems, laundry equipment, and air compressor drainage. Engineered for long-term endurance, the ASCO 8210G38 is the industry standard for on/off service in general-purpose industrial fluid control.

• Corrosion-Resistant Construction: The 304 stainless steel body and NBR seals ensure durability in harsh environments and compatibility with air, water, and light oil.
• High-Flow Efficiency: A 3 Cv flow factor allows for rapid fluid movement and minimal pressure drop across the 3/4-inch orifice.
• NEMA 4X Protection: The watertight and corrosion-resistant enclosure allows for safe operation in washdown areas or outdoor installations.
• Reliable Fail-Open Operation: The normally open configuration ensures the valve remains open when de-energized, preventing system backups during power outages.
• Wide Pressure Range: Effectively handles high-pressure applications up to 150 PSI with a zero-minimum pressure differential requirement.

• What is the difference between NEMA 4 and NEMA 4X for this ASCO valve? While both are watertight, the NEMA 4X rating on the 8210G38 provides additional protection against corrosion, which is vital for chemical processing or salt-air environments.
• Can this valve be used for steam applications? No, this model is equipped with NBR seals rated for a maximum fluid temperature of 180°F. For steam service, a valve with EPDM or PTFE seals is required.
• Does the 8210G38 require a minimum pressure to operate? As a pilot-operated valve, it typically requires a small pressure differential to function correctly; however, this specific series is designed to operate reliably within the 0 to 150 PSI range for most general services.
